Clement, NigeriaFull Stack Developer

I have been working as a full-stack developer at Turing.com for more than a year now. While applying for Turing jobs a year back, I found the Turing test to be very challenging. But it was a good learning experience for me. Through the AI/ML-enabled tests, Turing reviews how good you’re with your skill. Working with Turing has been a very satisfying experience for me so far. I get to work for Silicon Valley companies and enjoy good pay as well. I am also part of an elite community of the world’s best developers.

My onboarding process was super smooth. Although I had read a few Turing.com reviews about the onboarding process here, I never really expected it to be this awesome. My coordinator helped me in every single step- from getting hired by top Silicon Valley clients to making sure my needs were met at all levels.
